Lenovo 8317 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
